The Borovitskaya Tower


Russian Water Tower - Plastic version with thermometer is 7.5 inches tall. It may be missing a star at the top, or it might not have been made with one. The Borovitskaya Tower - This gate-tower was built in 1490 by Pietro Antonio Solari, on the site of the Kremlin's medieval western gate. The Borovitskaya gate used to serve as the Kremlin's service entrance, as the tower gave access to the royal grain sheds and stables. The name of the tower harks back to the distant time when the hill on which the fortress stands was covered with dense coniferous forest

Skylon Tower Niagara Falls


This is a nicely detailed METAL Skylon Tower souvenir building from Niagara Falls, Canada which stands 7 inches tall. It’s well made and the top revolves just like the real tower. Excellent condition. This is much better than the plastic replicas out there. On top of the real building is a restaurant and observation deck overlooking the world-wonder Niagara Falls.
